I received a doctorate in composition and sound creation from Université de Montréal in 2022 and followed a post-doctoral research / creation in spatial improvisation at UQAM until August 2024.
🔭 Spatial sound performance : Live 4 Life
I have been developing in SuperCollider since 2011 a sound creation and spatialisation tool named Live 4 Life, which aims to facilitate the improvisation of electronic music on multiple speakers. This research, which questions ways of linking rhythmic and spatial parameters, is based on the concept of free and open works, both from the point of view of form and in the diffusion of open source code. To read more about this life project, check :
- this Wiki with notes on spatialization techniques, creative process thoughts, and project motivations,
- my articles presented at ICMC 2018, 2021 & 2024, ISEA 2023 or released at Cambridge University Press,
- in french, my doctoral thesis on spatial improvisation, or article at JIM 2017.
💻 Currently working on Audiovisual live coding : Live 4 Bubbles & Fizzy Hydra
After all these years in spatial research & creation, since 2025 I have been developing a new lifelong project for performing audiovisual live coding with databases, controllers and gestures, named :
- Live 4 Bubbles (a form of DJing with code and pattern parameters based on Tidal Cycles, Haskell and SuperCollider),
- & Fizzy Hydra (a visual sequencer based on Hydra and javascript).

Free party with Normandeau, performance for a dome of 24 loudspeakers at Usine C, Montréal, Canada, during the Akousma Festival on October 15th 2021.
2020 - Parmegiani meets SuperCollider (16-channel dome, Montreal)
Parmegiani meets SuperCollider, performance for a dome of 16 loudspeakers during the Ultrasons Festival at Salle Claude Champagne, Université de Montréal, Canada, in January 2020.
2019 - Free Parties will survive (8-channel ring, Bayonne)
Free Parties will survive, performance for a circle of 8 loudspeakers during the Journées d'Informatique Musicale at the auditorium Henri Grenet of the Cité des Arts in Bayonne, France, on Monday, May 13th 2019.
I'm seeking:
- Academic or creative positions,
- Collaborations with audiovisual live coders,
- Open source creative projects with dancers / movement artists / circus performers.
If any of my work has been helpful or gave you ideas, feel free to buy me a coffee to keep the projects going!
